The second edition of this popular book has been updated for TYPO3 CMS 7 LTS and is a must-read for beginners and advanced developers. Extensions are the cornerstone of TYPO3 CMS and an essential part of every TYPO3 installation. The fastest and most efficient method for developing extensions is by utilizing the Extbase framework and Fluid templating engine. This book provides all you need to know to get up and running with Extbase and Fluid in an easy-to-follow format with real-world examples. The book was written to help TYPO3 developers produce clean code in modern standards, backed by contemporary programming principles. Authored by Patrick Lobacher and Michael Schams, who are well-known members of the TYPO3 community, the second edition of this book has been updated and covers all new aspects of TYPO3 CMS 7 LTS. From the basics of object-orientated programming in PHP to the principles of Domain Driven Design and the MVC concept (Model-View-Controller), the authors explain theoretical foundations as well as practical solutions. After working through this book, extension developers have all knowledge on hand to master TYPO3 projects of all sizes and complexities in Extbase and Fluid.

Leaders of the TYPO3 community guide you through this powerful, enterprise-level, open source content management system.

A complete guide to understanding and using TypoScript, TYPO3's powerful configuration language.

The significantly expanded and updated new edition of a widely used text on reinforcement learning, one of the most active research areas in artificial intelligence. Reinforcement learning, one of the most active research areas in artificial intelligence, is a computational approach to learning whereby an agent tries to maximize the total amount of reward it receives while interacting with a complex, uncertain environment. In Reinforcement Learning, Richard Sutton and Andrew Barto provide a clear and simple account of the field's key ideas and algorithms. This second edition has been significantly expanded and updated, presenting new topics and updating coverage of other topics. Like the first edition, this second edition focuses on core online learning algorithms, with the more mathematical material set off in shaded boxes. Part I covers as much of reinforcement learning as possible without going beyond the tabular case for which exact solutions can be found. Many algorithms presented in this part are new to the second edition, including UCB, Expected Sarsa, and Double Learning. Part II extends these ideas to function approximation, with new sections on such topics as artificial neural networks and the Fourier basis, and offers expanded treatment of off-policy learning and policy-gradient methods. Part III has new chapters on reinforcement learning's relationships to psychology and neuroscience, as well as an updated case-studies chapter including AlphaGo and AlphaGo Zero, Atari game playing, and IBM Watson's wagering strategy. The final chapter discusses the future societal impacts of reinforcement learning.

Leading futurist Bob Johansen shows how a new way of thinking, enhanced by new technologies, will help leaders break free of limiting labels and see new gradients of possibility in a chaotic world. The future will get even more perplexing over the next decade, and we are not ready. The dilemma is that we're restricted by rigid categorical thinking that freezes people and organizations in neatly defined boxes that often are inaccurate or obsolete. Categories lead us toward certainty but away from clarity, and categorical thinking moves us away from understanding the bigger picture. Sticking with this old way of thinking and seeing isn't just foolish, it's dangerous. Full-spectrum thinking is the ability to seek patterns and clarity outside, across, beyond, or maybe even without any boxes or categories while resisting false certainty and simplistic binary choices. It reveals our commonalities that are hidden in plain view. Bob Johansen lays out the core concepts of full-spectrum thinking and reveals the role that digital media—including gameful engagement, big-data analytics, visualization, blockchain, and machine learning—will play in facilitating and enhancing it. He offers examples of broader spectrums and new applications in a wide range of areas that will become possible first, then mandatory. This visionary book provides powerful ways to make sense of new opportunities and see the world as it really is.
